Abstract

This is a Short Note without an abstract.

Highlights

  • Marine parasites comprise various groups of animals, including crustaceans, ectoand- endoparasitic flukes, round worms, Bryozoa, bivalves and even Cnidaria [1]

  • We link the collected specimens to a wide range of parameters (Appendix 1), including pigment and nutrient concentrations of water, and measurements on conductivity, temperature, and depth. These new species records bring the list of known occurrences of parasitic crustaceans for Belgium to 11 species of parasitic Isopoda and 14 species of parasitic Copepoda [9] (Table 1)

  • Species of parasitic Isopoda and Caligidae known from Belgium with reference to the aphiaID in the World Register of Marine Species [32]

Summary

Two marine parasitic crustaceans new to the Belgian fauna

Jonas Mortelmans 1,*, Elisabeth Debusschere 1, Sofie Vranken 1, Klaas Deneudt 1, Francisco Hernandez 1 & Jan Mees 1,2. Two marine parasitic crustaceans new to the Belgian fauna. Two marine parasites; Progebiophilus euxinicus (Popov, 1929) (isopoda: Bopyridae) and Caligus brevicaudatus A. We link the collected specimens to a wide range of parameters (Appendix 1), including pigment and nutrient concentrations of water, and measurements on conductivity, temperature, and depth. These new species records bring the list of known occurrences of parasitic crustaceans for Belgium to 11 species of parasitic Isopoda and 14 species of parasitic Copepoda [9] (Table 1). 1785 Caligus elongatus von Nordmann, 1832 Caligus diaphanus von Nordmann, 1832 Eudactylina acuta Van Beneden, 1853 Haemobaphes ambiguus Scott T., 1900 Kroyeria lineata Van Beneden, 1853 Tripaphylus musteli (Van Beneden, 1851) Pseudocharopinus malleus (Rudolphi in Nordmann, 1832) Lernaeocera minuta (Scott T., 1900) Lernaeocera lusci (Bassett-Smith, 1896) Lernaeocera branchialis (Linnaeus, 1767) Lernaeenicus sprattae (Sowerby, 1806) Lepeophtheirus pectoralis (Müller O.F., 1776)
